Drifter

A Colour Block Poncho // Design by Kristen TenDyke

This is the simplest, yet most fun layering piece you can imagine, with endless options for colour. Whether Drifter is worked a single colour, bold colour blocks, or marled with two colours, the button-closed sides and one-piece construction make it a must for the fall season!
